UCLA hires Bob Chesney as football coach, aiming to revive struggling program

UCLA has hired Bob Chesney from James Madison as its new football coach, aiming to turn around a struggling program.
Chesney will be UCLA's 20th head coach in football history and the first sitting coach hired since 1971.
Chesney led James Madison to a 12-1 record this season and won the Sun Belt Conference title game in his farewell.
Jarmond highlighted Chesney's detail-oriented approach and ability to connect with players as key assets.
Chesney will be introduced at a campus news conference on Tuesday, per UCLA officials.
Chesney's hiring follows UCLA's transition to the Big Ten and internal coaching changes.
James Madison hired Billy Napier as its new coach after Chesney's departure.
Chesney previously spent six years at Holy Cross with a strong Patriot League record.
Bruins aim to revive a program that struggled since joining the Big Ten, according to AP coverage.
Chesney is described as a leader and developer of young men by UCLA's committee.
